Ham with Cream and Bay
10 minutes preparation
Serves 4
Ingredients:
4 thick slices of good quality cooked ham, cut in half
¼ litre single cream
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Teaspoon salt
4 bay leaves cut into strips
Method:
- In a large shallow dish, mix together the cream, vinegar, seasoning and bay leaf strips.
- Add the halved ham slices and mix around a bit to ensure the ham is coated in the liquid and leave for a few minutes.
- Remove the ham and roll the slices up, securing with a cocktail stick if necessary.
- Place the ham into a cazuela or oven proof dish that can go over direct heat.
- Pour over the liquid that the ham was sitting in and heat gently for a few minutes until the cream begins to bubble.
- Remove from the heat and serve immediately in the cazuela.
You can use fresh chopped tarragon leaves instead of the bay
